Ahh... Jars of Clay.... How I love you? I've been a fan since this song came out.  I now own all of their cds and continue to love them.  I've seen them three times in concenrt and loved every minute.  Although they're a Christian band, they really take the time with there lyrics and imagery.  It's not all "Praise Jesus" but a lot of story telling and speaking to people.  I never tire of hearing their songs.  And this is the song that started it all.

My favorite part (the chorus of course):

Lift me up so high that I cannot fall Lift me up Lift me up - when I'm falling Lift me up - I'm weak and I'm dying Lift me up - I need you to hold me Lift me up - Keep me from drowning again

If you can find them, they released two music videos for this song; one made early and one made exclusively for MTV.  If you can find it, the older version where the lead singer, Dan, has long hair, is better.
